X Company must purchase a new delivery truck and is using the payback method to evaluate two possible trucks. Truck 1 costs $31,000; Truck 2 costs $44,000. The useful life of both is seven years, with the following estimated operating cash flows:
Year Truck 1 Truck2
1 6000 7000
2 8,000 4,000
3 8,000 3,000
4 8,000 3,000
5 6,000 3,000
6 5,000 2,000
7 4,000 2,000
If X Company chooses Truck 2 instead of Truck 1, what is the payback period (in years)?

B: 3
C: 4
D: 5
E: 6

Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
Incremental investment in truck 2 is
= $44,000 - $31,000
= $13,000
